Get ready for some more Disney magic coming to a theatre near you!

According to Variety, the genius writer and co-director of Frozen has chosen her next project, and it sounds perfect for kids and adults alike.

Jennifer Lee will soon begin writing the big-screen adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's book, A Wrinkle in Time.

Published in 1962, the novel tells the story of a brother and sister who travel through time and visit strange worlds in hopes of finding their missing scientist father. 

Disney executives were reportedly impressed with Lee's take on the project, which emphasizes a strong female-driven narrative. Anyone else reminded of Frozen's Anna and Elsa? 

Lee holds the title of the first female to direct a Disney animated feature. The film went on to become an Oscar-winner and earned a whopping $1.3 billion at the box office.

A director and release date for the upcoming project has yet to be announced.
